Program

Angela
Jankousky gave today’s program. She has a most
impressive engineering /environmental
background. She chose as her topic ‘For Leadership
- Give me Shackleton’. She used the story of
the ill-fated voyage of the Endurance in the
Antarctic in 1914-1916, combined with attributes,
and characteristics of its commander Ernest
Shackleton to outline leadership strategies. It was
an interesting story and an interesting approach.
She emphasized 3 areas to key on: Commitment, Role
modeling and Optimism in attitude. Thanks to Angela
for an intriguing program.
